Welcome to Swim2Swim, a family-run business offering swimming lessons to students of all ages in Colchester.

Headed up by two accomplished swimming teachers, Richard and Karen, Swim2Swim provides swimming lessons for children and adults from three well-equipped pools in the Colchester area.

Our approach

Richard, Karen and our dedicated team of swimming teachers are all water-based in order to provide unrivalled support to our beginners, improvers and advanced swimmers alike.

All our sessions are carried out in small groups, so everyone gets the attention and tailored guidance they need from us. We also make sure that only one lesson takes place in our pools at any given time. This creates a safe environment where our swimmers can focus on their own learning in calm surroundings.

We’re specialists in teaching your little ones to swim

You can start to nurture your children’s water confidence from any age – and at Swim2Swim, we think the earlier, the better!

Swimming with your baby or child is a rewarding and bonding activity to enjoy together. As well as providing many physical and social benefits, the skin-to-skin contact and uninterrupted time together is precious and something to look forward to and nurture each week.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do your swimming lessons take place?

We run our small group swimming lessons at the Britannia Pool in Great Tey; the Primrose Pool in Ramsey; and the YouFit Health Club Pool in Eight Ash Green. These facilities are easily accessible for swimmers based in Colchester, Braintree, Halstead, Tiptree, Harwich, Manningtree, Lawford, and Tendring. Two of our pools are also available for private hire.

Do you offer one to one tuition?

We do not currently offer one-on-one lessons for children, although we do run 121 lessons for adults on a Wednesday afternoon. All our children’s sessions take place in small groups.

How long are your swimming programmes?

Most of our swim terms are between 12 and 13 weeks long. View our Term Dates for more information. Lessons also take place through school and bank holidays, as the continuity is great for progress, but we do take a two-week break over the Christmas period.

What are your facilities like?

All our pools have on-site parking, separate changing rooms, and viewing rooms so you can watch our lessons in comfort. View further information on the Britannia Pool, Primrose Pool, and YouFit Health Club Pool by visiting each venue’s respective page.

To cultivate an environment where children play and thus thrive in learning you need a few key ingredients: 

🌊The environment needs to be safe and clean and distraction free so everyone can be present and in the moment. 
😊 There needs to be engagement but not chaos. A group of small children who can interact with each other and play. 
🥳 Provide elements to stimulate their young and keen senses such as toys and song.  
⭐And teachers who act as subtle guides who seek to enrich or expand on the children’s experiences.

No matter how confident you are in the water, it’s always safer (and more fun!) to swim with someone else. 
Whether youre heading to the beach or just enjoying a family swim (or a private hire session), having a friend or family member nearby ensures help is close if anything unexpected happens.

Swimming alone increases the risk of accidents, especially in deeper water or unfamiliar areas. A buddy can lend a hand, raise the alarm, or simply keep you company for a fun and safe swim.

So this summer, remember: never swim alone, and always look out for each other! 🛟🌊👫
